Just to let everyone know that using Ukelele I modified the EasyUnicode keyboardlayout for Mac (renamed as MMDUnicode) that allows easy entering of "r̥ r̥̄ l̥ ḷ".  For the benefit of those who may wish to use this keyboard layout, I have attached it here.  This now allows an easy way to distinguish between लृ (l̥) ळ (ḷ) in Roman transcription.  Hope it is useful to some of you who would like to keep this distinction in transcription.  I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions about how to do this. With best wishes,

Accessing the under-circle on a Mac is not straight-forward at all in just about any keyboard layout.  However, I use a version of the EasyUnicode font that Tim Lubin modified specifically for this purpose.  In this case: r + (opt + 1) + r = r̥, l + (opt + 1) + r = l̥

 

Tim may have more to say or a more recent version of the layout.

Hello Artur,

 

     I have Gandhari Unicode installed on my Mac.  The question is how to access these characters.

Dear Discutants, 

 

let me repeat my earlier message:

 

Gandhari Unicode font has both l/L and r/R with rings (not dots!) below.

 

I use Windows, and have no problem with installing the font. Don't know if it works with Mac.
